Coleus Care Tips, Pruning, and Propagation In Water And Soil - WITH UPDATES!

- The coleus is a genus that houses many species and cultivars, usually sporting brightly colored foliage that grabs our attention. They look even better when you bring your eyes close to the leaves (Like stained glass in an old cathedral). The care is extremely easy, and the propagation even easier. However, they do require full sun and constant watering and pruning to be happy. In this episode I share the full care tips, pruning tips, as well as propagate them both in water and in soil. As usual, I share updates at the end of the episode.

You are my favorite plant TH-camr! I love that you show the whole process of how you care for and rehabilitate your plants and you’re clearly so passionate about all your plants!
Thank youu haha
Thank you for bringing attention to an underrated plant! In my part of the world they are generally grown as warm season annuals
they grew so well for me last summer, with so little effort, that i am gonna use them instead of a lot of flowering stuff this year. i love them
Loved watching you, you explain really well. I didn't know it was easy to propagate as I wanted to put them on the border of a long balcony, I kept buying 2 of each lol. Now I will try to propagate them. Also, thank you for explaining about pruning, I didn't know how to do it.
😀
Honestly my favorite channel, I wish I could live somewhere where I could grow aroids outside year round, I'm in America so I need to take them in for the winter every year. Your collection is fantastic.
I have four kinds and they’re prone to mealy bugs, however, none of them have died or even look sickly. They’re very resilient.
Just a gut feel, those popular plant-tubers here are watching Sean’s videos. Their videos are turning more “hands-on” rather than just plant-talk. Something uniquely, Sean. Just me, peace 🌿
Hehe I have a feeling too
Started with one little pot coleus and now have four medium sized pots. When I trim the leaves, just couldn’t bear to throw them so ended up water propagating lots of leaves and they grow roots so quickly! Now looking for other types of coleus cuz yes, they are too pretty!! 😊 thank you for this video!
Great pruning tips................ good growing advice...............Thanks!!!!!
😀😀
Ah, full sun, that’s what I did wrong.
I found water propagating tended to result in damaged roots, but I put lots of cleaned moss from the lawn & it gave more stability to the roots when planting in soil. Although a frog broke the stem but it re-established itself & it’s great but I’ll get it in full sun for better growth, thanks for the tip. Such beautiful plants you’ve got!
Thanks for sharing this valuable tip!
Hi Sean! I just got a free Coleous and did not know what to do with it,, I cut it and now have three!!Thanks! I like your blabber Sean!!
😀😀
Thanks for the great info bro! Just bought me 4 thick & healthy seedlings of different variety today 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😀😀
Coleus, which are now in the genus Plectranthus, can be grown in shade or full sun depending on the cultivar. The older species and cultivars were all shade loving but now cultivars that tolerate full sun are available. Sometimes I like the blueish flowers depending on the leaf color and pattern but all you have to do is deadhead the fading flower stalks before they set seed.
Interesting! Thanks for the share
Wow beautifull plants.enjoy the different shape and color
The leaves of Coleus are so pretty and colorful...
Thank you for sharing...Sean. Have a nice day...
Thank youu
Thank you Sean, I love your updates! 🌷💚🙃
I've been told most hate light and like shade
i started with one pot, then it became four pots of really bushy plants but i grew it away from direct sunlight cause I don't have a balcony and gardern, so they are greener than red. My battle with this plant is that they grow so quickly, and flower so often it's a race everyday to nip off new flowers.
Hi Sean, try to pinch the littlest every top leaves often everytime you see it. They will grow like crazy and get bushy really fast. I'm a fan of colleus and really proud of my collection. Oh one more thing. I also spray them with Gandasil D once a week, the leaves are just get bigger 😍
Googling up gandasil D

Coleus plants prefer full morning sun and shade in the afternoon.
Some varieties can tolerate full sun all day in areas with high humidity.
U can just sell them as cuttings. I have 3, among them surprisingly, when they grew up, I liked the one with pink colour in the mid part of leaf.
Good information, I will apply your advice
Wow 🤩🥰 I should get Coleus soon
Very useful post.
😀
If you clip the two newest leaves at the top of the plant you will then get four, this way the plant becomes wider and more bushy. You can try it, it really works.
Apical dominance✨
Wow mantap tanamannya
Makasihhh
Very beautiful, great job, thank you! Wouldnt those stretched plants be perfect for doing a 3 plant braid and making trees out of them, then get them under some lights? Those look perfect for that to me, am I missing something, or would those plants be good candidates for a braided tree? Anyone feel free to answer., thank you very much!
Oh wow… never thought of that but braided plants are cool
@@onlyplants Yeah they are, im just getting started and looking forward to experimenting! If you google coleus tree and go to images there are some cool ones! Some bonsai style coleus as well. Happy growing everyone, be safe.
I had spider webs frowning on mine so I treated it until I saw it go away and then pulled it from the soul and have them sitting in distilled water for now
Spider webs is good if the spiders there, they do eat pests 😀
Brother, what kind of soil potting mix good for coleous plant. From India. 👍
They are very adaptive to many kinds. Perhaps you can narrow it down by how often you are willing to water it. In some cases they have to be watered daily.
What is that STUNNING plant at the end??!! I want one!!
The end of the episode always hints the next episode 😀
Shawn im cian from Philippines my coulius directly to the ground
I’ve always known coleus to be grown in shade, except for the newer varieties which can be grown in full sun or shade? I’m confused? 🌷💚🙃
Far as I know they are full sun plants. All of mine has thrived in full sun and will get leggy and miserable in lesser light
💚💚
I thought Coleus don’t like too much sun? I heard they grow in the shade.
Oh no they love direct light, and used extensively in landscaping due to that fact
Thank you for uploading this was very helpful! Does it matter where you trim the plants? Can I just cut off some of the leaves?
Cut it strategically because the node below that cut will sprout two vines
@@onlyplants okay thank you very much! The Coleus I have now are getting REALLY big 😅
Another question! So the stems I cut a while back are growing nicely in vases. One of the stems had five branches all together, and the roots look kind of crammed in the vase. Is that okay?
@onlyplants Can you propagate them from single nodes like aroids?
Yes you cannn
Hi Sean, what soil mix do you plant them in? Thank you
General potting mix. Or you can put them in denser soil too they love moisture (and a lot of light)
What is the name of that plant you show at the very end???
That plant is featured in the next episode over in a tour but I cant remember the name… and I havent got the time to check now 🙈
Caterpillar is attacking my coleus, what do we do? Thanks!
Best way is to remove them by chopsticks. Only chemical pesticides can deter them so you might want to opt for that as a last resort.
i love you so much
❤️❤️
I have seeds but no instructions
They should be quite easy to sow… their seedlings appear like weed everywhere around my garden 😅
Sean, can I plant these in leca?
I have a feeling you can 😀
Grasshoppers eat my coleus sometimes lol
Ouuu I would too. Them leaves are so gorgeous
Where are you from bro?
Indonesia 😀
Do you fertilize your coleus?🌷💚🙃
Yes I do 😀 lightly but frequently
👌👍👏👏👏👏👏🥰
I love coleus BUT they're completely miserable and die every winter and they always get mealy bugs under my care 🤷♀️
Hi my friend has the type pineapplette. It’s lime with red botches , she had it for 15 years and I took cuttings of all the. Time , it dod not die back like others
Its hard to grow them without full sun. For winter time its best to just take cuttings under growlight only to preserve the species. Grow them back into plants come spring
I have like 9 different types
Now thats what you call a coleus party haha
there are some that need full sun some partial sun lol boo tube advise varies .
Wooo that makes sense I guess plants are quite diverse. But for the most part Ive only seen them in full sun in landscaped yards.
